I would vote for disabling CaptureMouse() altogether or rethinking its
use in the wxWindows + VTK hybrids.  Even on systems where CaptureMouse
works, it's easy to get the app into an unusable state by for instance
programmatically focusing another window (calling Raise() or somesuch). 
This means that the previous window still has the mouse, but a new
window has the focus and it's not possible to change this state of
affairs with mouse interaction.  It's almost like a mouse lockup.

What's the opinion here of GUI experts with regards to windows capturing
mouses during interaction?

Thanks,
Charl
